Mo Salah 2025/26 Season

[rubans]

Not those Afcon stats again, we played nobodies in the last one from what I remember. A small sample set to prove a hypothesis? Wish people would go back and see who we played and how many game last time out we actually missed. It maybe have been different in 2021 but in 2023 was the case. We also had previously other strikers capable of taking the load pre 2021.
It makee sense to be annoyed at one player than admit we are as a team broken, admit currently none of the half a billion spend is performing at the level required and we just need to be patient with them this season and next one.

Bunch of nobodies and chancers every last one of them

Ok sounds easy enough. Let's bin the fella who posted these numbers last season and everything will be ok or will be even better.

Slot needs to take note.

In the 2024/2025 season, Mohamed Salah had 57 total goal contributions for Liverpool (29 goals and 28 assists) across all competitions. He particularly excelled in the Premier League, where he recorded 47 goal contributions (29 goals and 18 assists), tying the all-time record for a 38-game season.

That was last season. Now post this ... and how many assists he didn't make when he should have because he's desperate to up his goal tally.

And while he was injured:

🤣

Is there a correlation between Salah getting injured and Jota suddenly looking World class?

More cup games than PL games? That's your context? 7 gameS?
You just prooved the point. 7 games over a 60 game season.
3 actual PL games, 1 well beaten one against Arsena away which was a critical fixture where we needed to at least get a draw while I think at the time we had a 5pt lead? while 4 games in cup and 3 of them in EFL?.
3 I would have expected to win. It's a really sample set as per post.

Updated Edit for translation in for people like Jexy in proper English :
Are you really using a 7-game sample as your main context? That's just 7 games out of a 60-game season, which proves my point about it being a tiny sample size and the quality of the games and compeition involved.

The context is even weaker when you look closer. Only 3 of those were Premier League games, and one of those was a critical loss away to Arsenal when we had a 5-point lead. The other 4 games were cup matches—3 of them in the EFL Cup, which I would have expected us to win anyway.

As I said, it's a very small and unrepresentative sample set.

So easy to pick a handful of games over 350 game career to try and proove a hypothesis.

On the forum or where you are based? I'm sure based on some of your previous posts, you aren't short of a far right candidate there but let's keep this thread about Mo.

Anywhere (maybe a codebreaker?), which based on some of your previous posts you aren't short of a jumbled thought, sentence or phrase.

Thanks for letting me know your post was about Mo I thought it was a cunning plan to confuse.

By this logic Kelleher is a better keeper as we had a 2.3 points per game and 68.8% win percentage when Kellher played vs 2.2 points per game and 66.7% win percentage when Alisson played.


Salah on the other hand has played 105 out of 114 possible games in the last 3 full season in the PL. The games played without Salah are not statistically significant to frame any point of view (feel free to argue otherwise. It will be nonsensical. Its not like two PL winning team managers decided to include him in the team just for the kicks, when merely by dropping him they could have achived a win % of 88% (this is what we achieved when Salah didnt play 9 out of 114 games)).

We are not even past the first 3rd of the season, and its a significant change to playing him 105/114 times to dropping him. It requires a bit of patience, but that seems to be beyond many. Its also equally possible that the management feel that the solution out of this includes Salah as part of the first team - in which case we can revisit whether that was a wise move or not at the halfway point.

Mane had a poor season, and then we changed his role more centrally to get a better season out of him in his last season. Something like this could well happen again with Salah and it takes time.

We also had big dips in form under Klopp Jan to Mar 2021 we won 12 points in a 10 game stretch in the PL. But then we had full trust that Klopp will get us back on track, and the same trust is missing for Slot - Give the man a bit of time to prove that he can turn it around. All this frothing in the mouth over Salah's selfishness and Slot's lack of balls is a bit premature and childish.

Its a small sample size, but you said we played shite teams. We didn't. And forgive me, but i quite enjoy winning games, cups or league.

Salah has been shite this season, and vastly underwhelming since Feb(?). Hes aging and is on a short term deal. Why is it unfathomable to drop him, just to see if it works?

If we're shite throughout his afcon departure, i trust you'll react similarly to how you're acting now. "Too small a sample size to judge"

Wasn't that bad, not that I need to explain myself but on a phone and a bit lazy but I'm sure you got the gist of it. Really not that difficult.

We are not even past the first 3rd of the season, and its a significant change to playing him 105/114 times to dropping him - If Salah is not showing it in training/match - then for the management team to readjust to playing without him. It requires a bit of patience, but that seems to be beyond many. Its also equally possible that the .management feel that the solution out of this includes Salah as part of the first team - in which case we can revisit whether that was a wise move or not.

If i had any inclination that Slot was willing to do a mane, and actively change his position on the pitch, then i'd be fine with it. He won't though and he's given no indication he'd be willing to do that.

Salah plays and salah starts right wing unless injured or on internationals.

If you're happy with persisting an out of form salah on the wing, then fair enough. If you're happy for our right side to be ineffective until Salah finds form then fair enough. If you're happy to waste a third of a season or more doing that, then fair enough.

I'm not.

It's club over player and always will be. Couldn't give a shit what you've done for us while you're still playing for us. Records and praise are for when you've retired. He will forever be a legend and always will be. Right now he's fucking shite.

It's 6-7 games every 2yrs, if you are trying to extrapolatea single season then your point is clearly wrong. I would expect a top club like us to manage without Salah for 10 games, we have 6 strikers and they should be able to pick up the flack.
if you are trying to say we can drop him and not play him as much then I won't disagree but we don't. You are acting like oh here is 6-7 games when Salah wasn;t around so we should be good without him? It doesn't work.
Also, we have tried without Salah this season as many have mentioned and have not been any better, do you think maybe it indicates there are biggest issue at play than a single player?

Wasn't that like 2yrs ago?2025. Was this after Mane married someone half his age. Jeez, imagine if Salah had done that.

Oh so now it's personal? 😅

Nah, I think it was around the time Senegal knocked out Egypt in the World Cup qualifying playoffs.

Team Sadio ftw.

But point stands. I think there was a mutual personal rivalrary between but we benefited from it, two stop strikers fighting for Golden boot on either winger and in one continent with Bobby in between them in every sense of the word. Honestly don't think you need to pick one player but maybe grateful we got to witness it because new year or so with Team Ekiteke, Isak and Wirtz is going to need some work and not entitled enough to believe it will just happen by chance.
